COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit the website. Information about your website visit is stored in these cookies. Personal data is processed when these cookies are placed. These cookies enable a website to recognise you on a subsequent visit.

TYPES OF COOKIES

There is a difference between functional and non-functional cookies. Functional cookies will be placed upon every visit. These cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. In addition to functional cookies, we also place standard analytical cookies (a non-functional cookie). This cookie is not necessary for the proper functioning of the website. These help us understand which parts of the website are popular and where we can improve our website. When you agree to the placing of these cookies, we also place other non-functional cookies. These cookies have different purposes that allow us to improve our services. For example, we use cookies on our website to show online surveys, to test improvements on our website, to show social media buttons, or to show relevant advertisements for our services on other sites.

PRIVACY

Because your online privacy is very important to us, we would like to inform you as completely as possible about which cookies we use and for what purposes. The cookies we place by default when you visit the website and what we place when you accept these cookies can be seen below.

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

These functional cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. These cookies are therefore placed by default and are not deleted if you do not accept the cookies. Functional cookies ensure you can remain logged in during your visit to our website. In addition, these cookies ensure products remain in your shopping cart when you want to buy something in our webshop.

COOKIES TO MEASURE VISITS

Analytical cookies enable us to measure website visits. These statistics give us insight into how often our website is used, what information visitors are looking for, and which pages are visited the most. These help us understand which parts of the website are popular and where we can improve our website. We continuously analyse and improve the website to make the experience for visitors as pleasant as possible. We cannot trace the statistics we collect back to individuals. This data is always used anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gain insights from the data. We always place the analytical cookies when you visit our website. Analytical cookies collect, among other things, the following data:

  • The number of visitors to our web shop.
  • The time and duration of the visit.
  • The searches performed on the website.
  • Information about your browser and device with which you visit our website, such as operating system and screen size.
  • The way in which you arrived at our website, for example whether you clicked on one of our advertisements or on a link in an e-mail or newsletter.
  • Some anonymous data entered in a form, such as the type of car or which type of cover is most often chosen.
  • Items that you have purchased or added to the shopping cart on the website.

For more information about what Google does with the collected data, please refer to the Google privacy statements. This statement may change regularly. We never provide Google with any personal information you enter (such as name, address, social security number, telephone number). Read more about how we handle personal data in our privacy statement.

To ensure these buttons work, social media companies such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google place cookies so they can recognise you when you are logged in to their social network. They also collect data about the page you share. For more information about the data collected by social media companies, please refer to the privacy statements of these companies.

IMPROVEMENT COOKIES

We are constantly testing our website to provide you with the best user experience. We want to know if any changes we make to the website are considered improvements by you. This is why we often carry out improvements with a test first. We do this with Google Optimise or VWO. Visitors can see a modified version of the website at the same time. This enables us to optimise the website continuously. Cookies are used to ensure you see the correct version of a page and to measure results. COOKIES FOR RESEARCH We use Hotjar as a tool to conduct research on the website. This allows you to leave feedback on the website. In addition, we use an online survey to ask you to provide your opinion about our website so we can continue to improve it. The cookie ensures you do not see the survey unnecessarily often. The cookie also provides information about your operating system and the browser you use to visit the website. To see how visitors use our website, we also use other Hotjar functionalities. This tool also registers mouse clicks, mouse movements and scrolling behaviour of visitors to our website. Hotjar collects information about pages visited, the browser you use, the type of device, and the operating system. We use this information to continuously improve the website.

COOKIES TO DISPLAY GLOBAL CREATIONS ON OTHER WEBSITES

We use online advertisements to promote our services. We do this as specifically as possible to keep costs low and ensure unnecessary advertisements are not shown. We use Google AdWords, Google Dynamic Remarketing, Facebook Custom Audiences, Microsoft Bing Ads and DoubleClick for this. These cookies make it possible to:

  • Keep track of advertisements you have already seen to prevent you from seeing the same advertisements.
  • See how many visitors click or have clicked on our advertisements.
  • Keep track of how many visitors purchase a service from us after they have clicked on an advertisement. This is necessary to analyse the effectiveness of advertisements.
  • Keep track of whether you have already purchased certain services from us. You will then not see any unnecessary advertisements. Even if you do not accept cookies, you may still encounter advertisements from us online. Not all our advertisements use cookies. Cookies do make it possible to show you more relevant advertisements and no unnecessary advertisements. For more information about what we do with stored data, please refer to our privacy declaration. This can change regularly.

BLOCKING AND DELETING COOKIES

If you do not want our website to be able to store cookies on your computer, you can make this known in the cookie message you see when you first visit our website. You will not see this message if you have previously accepted our cookies; to do so, you must first delete our cookies.

You can also choose to block the placement of cookies through your browser. If you block all cookies, some websites may not work as well. It is better to selectively disable only unwanted cookies. You can do this in your browser settings. This also blocks cookies from other websites you visit.
